Citizen Manchester
Abstract
Artists Dan Dubowitz and Alan Ward have created Citizen Manchester, a new artwork comprising a book, plus an exhibition of 40 large-scale interventions to be hosted at the Central Library and the nearby Manchester Art Gallery. Through photographs, recording tales and research into the city’s archives, Dubowitz and Ward captured the moment when the public had been locked out of Central Library and the Town Hall Extension, with the spaces stripped back in preparation for their refurbishment.
